Step-by-Step Guide

 

Step 1: Apply the Base Layer with V330

Start by coloring the entire background with V330, a soft violet shade. This gentle base creates a calm and dreamy foundation for your butterfly pattern.

 

Step 2: Draw Butterflies with V270

Using V270, draw simple butterfly shapes across the page. Keep the butterflies varied in size and direction, allowing the pattern to look dynamic and lively. The deeper violet shade contrasts beautifully with the soft background, making the butterflies stand out.

 

Step 3: Add Highlights with White Gel Pen

Use a white gel pen to add highlights on the butterflies' wings. Focus on adding light to the edges and the middle sections, giving the butterflies a shiny and ethereal look. These bright accents help create a 3D effect and enhance the playful vibe of the design.
